“The dialectical critic of culture must both participate in culture and not participate. Only then does he/she do justice to his/her object and to him/herself”.
Theodor W. Adorno, ‘Cultural Criticism and Society’

Under certain light conditions, objects change their aspect. A red light, a dark room, and everything is upside down.* Under specific luminal irradiations, bodies are transformed. Day and night. Daylight and nightlight. The eye is photosensitive to darkness. Reflections of the anti-sun.
The artists in this exhibition use darkness as a backdrop. Mysterious images come out of that depth: faces, silhouettes, atmospheres, sounds, and animals, too. Little by little, a feeling of stillness takes over the spectator. Straddling action, non-action, as stasis, the scenes are partly pre-determined, or literally organised to make something happen. A basic script is organising the image in movement. The cohesion of the image is achieved by effect of the filmic tempo. Duration gradually provides the image with consistency, bringing to the fore a fold hidden in what is nearest, which, when looked at in detail, reveals a strangeness that was already there, on the other side of the real.
